Oops my mistake. To me a crisis is of the moment, which COVID is no longer, and obesity never has been, just a growing problem.
Unless the obesity rate doubled in a few months or obese people suddenly started falling dead in the street or being smitten down with some fell critical disease that meant a suddenly truncated life, it would not be a crisis.
It is a major societal problem, not helped by many government measures that are counter productive.
Now my little rant. One of the main problems seems to be that we eat too much sugar and expect our food to be very sweet. Why then when the government introduced the sugar tax did it allow manufacturers to replace sugar in their products with sweeteners? These seem to have made many drinks taste even sweeter.
Surely manufacturers should have been told to reduce the sugar and sweetness in drinks, not add sweeteners, so that if customers still wanted very sweet drinks, they would have to pay extra for them? It would at least start paving a way to helping us wean ourselves off sugar.
